Changes Vs Geelong (Round 2)

[BL_dobsmob]

Oh rite I forgot we are playing soccer these days.

I've seen more significant bumps on a netball court

 

[GingerGreatness]

Wasn't reported by the match day umpires but now assessed as:
i) intentional conduct;
ii) low impact;
iii) body contact;
intentional being the big one...

 

[GingerGreatness]

So after reading the charge, the MRP's decided not to use "the insufficient force to warrant a charge" get out of jail free card, and thrown the book at him.

 

[chopperduck]

I could accept a fine, or even a charge that comes down to just points with an early plea, but 1 week if he accepts is BS.

 

[Last of the Roys]

Out = Aussie Rules Football

In = Insanity

Can not believe what the AFL is coming to with the Rockliff decision. We might as well all just pack up go home and play soccer because that is where things are heading.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Piss off, can't touch the premiers.

Challenge it, joke!

Make sure that he is out of the brownlow early because he is going to win it?

Time to give the Tribunal something to do?

 

[Happy_Neale]

When did this even happen? Struggling to remember.

 

[Simbatheking21]

you're f@#king kidding me!!!! 1 week...... spare me AFL

 

[BL_dobsmob]

When did this even happen? Struggling to remember.

In the first minute or two

Derwayne said with a chuckle: "that's trademark Sam Mitchell he gets a few of those a game, he's just got one earlier than normal"

Oh yeah that's right I remember the hit now. That's piss weak if that's the case Mitchell went on to play ok. Gibbos hit on one of our kids was worse but I bet he gets off.

Gibbo did get off.

He did.

Was excitedly looking forward to the Geelong game as of 2 hours ago. Now I feel like I just don't give a shit.

 

[Waspy79]

Rubbish decision by the MRP.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Whilst it sucks losing Rocky for this match, I still think we will win.

1 player doesn't make a team and the suspension along with Reddo and Richys 100th should hopefully spur the boys on!

I agree although would love to see rocky take on Selwood. I think Rainesy may come in for this one.

Going to be a bitter pill to swallow if we lose by a small margin though. I can tolerate being beaten fair and square... it's the "if only" stuff that kills me...

 

[Sausages]

We'll roll the Cats.

A pineapple on it.

 

[CarloLion]

Surely we'll challenge.....

 

[Matt_BL]

Surely we'll challenge.....

Worth a look imo not sure exactly what they'd challenge is the only thing but you could definitely bring up that Sumner hit in the pre season.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Surely we'll challenge.....

Why surely? I don't agree with the level of suspension but you can only challenge the gradings, and not the associated weightings.

So what do you challenge? The intentional ruling? Good luck.

Low impact reduced to insufficient force? Again... good luck.

Worth a look imo not sure exactly what they'd challenge is the only thing but you could definitely bring up that Sumner hit in the pre season.

Can't cite precedent because that would require the MRP to be accountable and transparent.

So little scope within the system to challenge the unfair parts of this ruling and we'll be twice as shitted off if we lose Rocky for the QClash as well.

I think we just have to take a bite of the shit sandwich here and move on.

 

[chopperduck]

IIRC, u cant reference other incidents as part of a defense.

The problem is, he is by far our best midfielder. If you take away a teams best midfielder with little quality depth it does prove crucial. biass MRP

 

[jackess]

Gonna be tough without our best tagger.
